Being Goofy!

Just some random pictures of the boys the other day....they were having fun being silly and so I was snapping away with our camera we finally found!!  Guess I was happy to have found it cause I took several pictures, but of course didn't want to bore you with them so here are just a few:)

Of course we had to get one nice picture with ellie in the mix as well.  And then today she was pretty smiley so I took one of her this morning.

Happy 7th Birthday!!

Its hard to believe my second born is 7 years old already!!  Happy Birthday Caden!!

We celebrated this past saturday(which his actual birthday is the 9th of June) with both sides of our families here at our house.  It was a good turn out with around 26 people.  I think Caden had a great time with all his cousins!  Sadly we lost our camera(and still have yet to find it), so we borrowed my aunt's camera for the night.  Not sure if there will be much posting after this post until we find our camera.  I have looked everywhere....sure hope it shows up soon cause we are missing out on some great photos of our kids these days.

Gift time....he got TONS of candy that will definitely last him till next year:).  Got a new Dsi game, a pair of rollar blades, pool toys, shirt, and more.

Time for cake and ice cream.  He chose the basketball theme which made cake decorating easy for me:).  Cant go wrong with a dome shaped cake pan, orange frosting and some black lines.  He loved it !

 I made a few extra cupcakes as well, since I knew the cake wouldn't feed us all.

 He blew out all the candle's at once....

We love you Caden!

Best to date....

Just had to post this picture I captured today.  I think its such a good little smile from Ellie.  The outfit she is wearing was sent to her from Dan and Tess Leman.  So cute!

6 weeks old

 I hear it very often....she looks like a Waibel:).  I have yet for someone to tell me she is a Gutwein:)...even my side of the family says they see Waibel!!

 One thing is for sure...she loves to be outside!!  Ellie has pretty much smiled everyday since day two of her life, but she is getting to the point where she smiles more often and not just at random times.  If you can cooo and ahhh at her she is pretty much bound to give you some sort of grin.

Generation

This weekend my parents, Ellie and I traveled to Illinois for a graduation open house of my cousin Amanda.  This was a great way to see my Grandparents from Minnesota and to get a picture of 4 generations!!  Not alot of people can get a four generation picture so I am thankful I could get one!

One Month!!

Its hard to believe that Ellie is ONE month old today!!  I tried to do a photo shoot with her, but mind you, taking pictures is NOT my strong point.  I also found it kind of funny that I wanted to do a photo shoot....Ive never done one before with my boys, but I guess this is what happens when you have a girl:).  I got her all dressed up, put in a bow and snapped some pictures.  Then I undressed her, and removed the bow and put on a good ol onsie......

Scrub a dub dub....

 Ellie had her first bath at 6 days old!  She loved the warm water and seemed to enjoy it.........

 UNTIL we lathered her up with soap!!  Then she began her loudest little scream she has made since arriving home! 

Of course once the warm towel was nicely wrapped around her (yes its blue because we don't own pink towels) she was a sweet little content girl!!  :)

That very next morning(monday morning 30th) I found her fallen off umbilical cord in her pj's.  That fell off fast!!!  Yeah!
